My name is Tiffany. Unless you're my cousins in Italy. Then my name is Stephanie, because I got very tired of correcting them. I'm not even kidding. They all believe my name is Stephanie :'D ^^^^^ the pains of being named Tiffany. As long as their first language isn't English, they always think it's "Stephanie" unless you really accent the "T" XD

Apparently my parents took like, weeks to name me because my mom wanted more traditional names like Grace or Sarah and my dad wanted more nontraditional names like Sage. Eventually they settled on Micaela which is alright except there are like 20million ways to spell Micaela and mine is the more unusual variant.
Fun fact: My online alias Sairri is a portmanteau between Sage (since I actually really liked that name) and Mirri (a name I created and for some reason loved when I was 13)

I'm Jacob! It's pretty much one of the most common male names out there. I've never gone by any of its associated nicknames, though. Confusion with the plenty of "Jakes" and "Jays" around me to spare has always been, then, rather minimal.

My name is Yven, pronounced like even. Don't like it when the teacher in english class says "even" ... any time I feel adressed. My teacher in physics calls me Yves (think it's french?) ... hopelessly to correct him. My second name is Fjonn, but I don't know how to explain the pronounciation for english speakers.

My real name is Anna. The pronunciation of the first letter varies from person to person. Some say it with a short 'a', like in apple, while others pronounce the name with a long 'a', like in awful (that word is a bad example, but I can't think of any others right now :/ ). I honestly prefer the long 'a' (it makes me feel like I'm the Disney princess in the movie Frozen :3 ) but it's really supposed to be the apple/short 'a'. There are so many apple Annas at my school, so it's nice to pronounce my boring name a bit differently.

My name is Thao, prounounced 'tah-oh' (Vietnamese), but people always ask me if it's pronounced like Taio as in Taio Cruz. orz Since preschool, I've been using the name 'Tina' instead, so I don't really respond to my real name anymore.

My real name is Dakota, and I swear to god if I hear "lol NORTH OR SOUTH" one more time someone's throat is getting slit. I usually prefer to be called Kota, or any variation of nicknames people have for me. I hate my name with a burning passion. Though, on a side note, my middle name is blue. Which I do like.
